I really want to get more experience with Puppet as it’s the Thing Du Jour [tm]. I already have a CentOS VPS running with Nginx, PHP, MySQL and Minecraft so purchased an Ubuntu KVM VPS to use as my Puppet Master. I got both from Network Presence. Cheap prices and Australian to boot! Read more »

After my previous issues, I decided to download and install Fedora 20 for my Puppet server VM. A friend had mentioned he prefers Linux distros with a v3 kernel. I installed it and downloaded Puppet Enterprise 3.2.2 for RHEL. I found out, however, that even though there’s mention of supported packages for Fedora, you can’t use the tarball because they say Fedora changes too often to be stable. If you run the installer it says “Unsupported Platform”. Oh well.

So I wanted to make sure Puppet only supports Ruby 1.8 as I’d seen on a support mailing list. It turns out the main Puppet Supported Platforms page says Puppet 3.5.1 supports Ruby 2.1. Epic win! So I installed it:

Creating group 'rvm'
Installing RVM to /usr/local/rvm/cp: cannot stat`/usr/local/rvm/src/rvm/bin/rake': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/rvm/src/rvm/bin/bundle': No such file or directory
Installation of RVM in/usr/local/rvm/ is almost complete:
* First you need to add all users that will be using rvm to 'rvm' group,
and logout - login again, anyone using rvm will be operating with `umasku=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx`.
* To start using RVM you need to run `source/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh`in all your open shell windows, in rare cases you need to reopen all shell windows.
